and the large crowd, he did not dei

Juatice from Franklin ton also , ad
dressed the crowd with well chosen
remarks. Judge C. M. Cooke, of
Louisburs;, then took the speaker's
aiand, and as he always does de
liohted the audience, as he knew all
the old folks, and as he knew most
of their births, marriages,' their
fath0CB, mothers jjiateis. cousins and,
aunts, interested the ."H3me";: folks
to whom he was'speaking. ,
Kev. G. M. Duke, v the Tnerable
and beloved "Father in Israel!
spoke to those present in his usual
earnest convincing way, in which no
one but "George Duke" can talk.
We refrain from, commenting on
his talk as we fear thafT we might
detract from what this "grand old
man" had to say: He was master
of the Lodge cefomony, and all was
carried through admirably. Mr. B.
W. Ballard also made a few remarks
which were enjoyed by those pres
eut, who were delighted tovsee? and
hear one who was born and " reared
within two miles of this old historie
meeting place, "Maple Springs."
After the exercises of the Lodge
which were held in the Church at
Maple Springs, the large crowd te
paired to the , tables wnicn .were
placed in the beautiful erove of Mr.
Willis Boone near the Church, and
barbecued tier, lamb and beef with
plenty of lemonade and ice water
were served in abundance, and no
one came away without being served
plentifully, including all present.
Masons and all. The dinner was
served by the ladies of the Eastern

young men. Especial thanks is ten
